I would really want to see records on guys who demanded a proper tank vs guys who are now whining about the team looking like trash. I bet there are a lot of overlaps.

I for one was NEVER advocating for this ****, yet I'm not here complaining about doing what has to be done. And the reason it has to be done is the fact that the FO kept skimming the roster making us progressively worse until we were forced to start a bunch of kids who dont yet know how to play NBA ball.

Its bleak that in this world the only dates that matter are the date of the lottery draw and draft day. But thats what majority vote on this board wanted.

I haven't watched a single game this year. This is the year of pain. Hopefully it results in the first #1 pick in franchise history. We are one of the few teams with zero overall #1 picks in our franchise history, a testament to the mediocrity treadmill they have been shooting for over these many years. Hopefully this is what is needed to kick us loose from that and get us on a winning path.
 
Between how horrible this team is, and how horrible the modern "let's chuck 40 3s a game" NBA style is, it's really come close to killing my interest in the Jazz and the NBA in general.

I'll probably never stop following them. I've been watching them for 30+ years and all, but I can't make it through any games this year. It's just not a good use of time.

The only time the jazz weren’t painful to watch was the 90’s. Efficiency on offense, ball moved, and they played tough nosed elite defense. 90’s is the only time this happened.

Did you not watch the 1988 playoffs, when we took the eventual champs, the Lakers, to 7 games in the playoffs? No I did not go back and check their offensive efficiency numbers, but if memory serves, they performed well.

I wanted the tank. Still want the tank and ain't whining. (Other than I recently whined that I thought we weren't tanking hard enough lol. I was wrong about that)

Having said that, I normally never miss jazz bball. This year I have missed a bunch. It is hard to watch at times. When Kessler was out I didn't watch much and having him back helps.
Hendricks was the player I was most excited to watch develop and that injury really hurt my excitement for this season. That sucked bad

I disagree. I loved the boozer, memo, d will, AK teams. Even more than Stockton and Malone teams.
I also loved the gobert and Rudy teams. I had so much fun when we finished with the best record in the NBA. Maybe my favorite 82 game stretch of jazz bball of my entire life. We were dominant. Then I got to watch the jazz beat the grizzlies in the playoffs while I was in Hawaii for my first time. Such a great season

After moving out West to Colorado from Detroit as a Pistons fan that amazing series was my introduction to The Mailman, Stockton, Sloan and the crew. The next year I moved to SLC and became hooked on Jazz basketball.

Not watching is fine. Its the unavoidable byproduct of being bad.

What doesnt make sense is guys who whined about the mid tank and begged for this also whining now. Logically thinking they should be excited.

I know you aint one of them. I'm not sure you have one whiny bone in your body.

Don’t get me wrong they were both good teams and all, but always fell short of expectations for specific reasons that drove me insane

Yes, the 80s were a little hazy for me. I was 10 years old in 1988. I remember crying after we lost that series. I was too young to appreciate or not appreciate certain things
